What is the proposed idea/solution? Add a customization to Date Columns that allows users to choose what part of the date they want displayed. For instance, having "April" or just "2022" could benefit the Pivot Table app. ... How does is solve the user problems? It would eliminate needing a formula column and an automation to produce these results. ... How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...Users that want to analyze their data with a pivot table.

When a Lookup Field is configured to return either a Single Select or Multiple Select field, a count Field fails to allow the count of the returned values. In the screenshot below, Count should allow the return of the number, 3, 4 and 2. A current workaround of a Rollup Field seems to work, but it's not as convenient/easy to setup as a designated Count field could be - and may bring a performance hit on larger tables.

What is the proposed idea/solution? An option to filter by number of values in a multiple-select or linked record field. How does this solve the user problems? Easily locate records associated with multiple other records. In my specific situation, a collaborator is asking why certain Tasks are linked to two projects instead of just one. (A hacky solution is creating a field with the array joined values of the linked field and then filtering by which rows contain the value separator.) How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Users who are refining Base designs, such as cardinality, based on feedback from non-technical users

What is the proposed idea/solution? Make the Page Designer extension bi-directional. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow a user that creates reports from records to make changes to a record and the resulting report directly on the report itself. You could then potentially make edits to hundreds of fields on a record from a single page view that is highly customizable. I find there is far too much scrolling required when there are many fields that need to be filled in or changed, so the Page Designer extension seems like the easiest way to make the most customized and condensed views of a record as possible, and things like text fields, check boxes, and drop down fields could be very easily manipulated from this type of view.

I currently use some 3rd party google chrome plugin to mark up and put texts on attached PDF files. I have to mark up, crop, download, then re upload an image. How about integrating some type of mark up system right on PDFs or images. It could show who marked it up. The attachment comments only got us halfway there. But when there is a 8 page PDF its hard to keep track too.

Let’s say you have 2 tables within a single base: Department and People. Next, pretend you create a single new record in the Department table and link 3 People records: Alice, Bob, and Chris. So the “People” column in the Department table contains the record links and we “Allow linking to multiple records” option enabled. This column also records the order of the People records linked, where the records are positioned in the order of: Alice (first), Bob (second), Chris (third). Next, I’d like to create a VIEW in the People table that shows this corresponding position for these people for this Department. That way, if someone re-orders the linked People to be (hypothetically): Bob (first), Alice (second), and Chris (third) – then this VIEW in the People table would automatically re-order those records, accordingly. The problem is that I don’t think there’s a way to expose Linked Record positional information automatically through any sort of Lookup.

With several use cases I have realized that managing records would be much easier if you could change linked fields by drag and drop between groups of fields but it doesn’t work like it does when records are grouped by input field types. One example: One table with a list of production orders and another one with linked production runs. When production orders are grouped by production runs it would be most convenient to move production orders to another production run by drag and drop instead of changing links individually for each record.

Right now if I have a record with a lot of fields I can choose to view the data in one long horizontal row (in grid view) or one long vertical column (if I pop open the detail view). I have a lot of space in my big monitor; I want to be able to fit more fields on the screen at a time by putting them in a two-dimensional grid rather than a one-dimensional row or column. It would be great if I could make a page-designer view that allowed me to edit the data directly from within it like a form. Alternatively I’d like to be able to specify a two-or-three column layout on the detail view. Either of these options would allow me to take advantage of my screen real-estate to view and edit lots of record data a lot more easily.

Unless I’m missing something major, there doesn’t seem to be an out-of-the-box solution which allows you to filter so as only display records which have a checkbox field unchecked. Checked yes, but unchecked no. Is this an accidental oversight by Airtable? Some reason why this is not possible? Seems like it would be an easy and really great thing to implement. Unless of course this is actually possible and I’m missing something really obvious… (am new to Airtable!)

I’m using Airtable to document design elements. Is it possible to make hex code a field type so that when I enter in a hexcode I can see what color its referring to? Slack has something similar where if you send a hexcode it recognizes it as a color and displays it in the message.
